Over-hyped.

Rating: 5/10 (5 August 2005)

Danny Boyle's a great director, but this piece of trash was pointless and its praise is undeserved.
This movie is a straight up remake of Day of the Triffid with plague ridden zombies instead of foliage. Secondly, the zombies act like they're spazzing on meth which sucks because zombies don't spazz! Zombies are supposed to move slower than mummies and that's why they're such a potent symbol for existential dread. (IE Being trapped in the prison of a body that's ineffective and slowly rotting)
Boyle forgets he's making a zombie film a couple of times throughout and seems to have focused his film on the nature of human aggression. This was done way better in his superior Di Caprio vehicle "The Beach" As a fan of such films as "White Zombie", "Zombie" and "Zombie Holocaust" (Basically anything with Zombies) I can not bless this production. It says nothing new about the zombie genre and is just ineffective. Some good performances, but what else would you expect from Boyle?
